Leisure classes offer three terms each year: the fall semester runs from late August through early December; the spring semester runs from mid January through early May; the summer semester runs from early June through late July.

Classes meet for as few as one or as many as ten sessions. Classes meet in the evenings Monday - Friday and on the weekends. Class days, dates, and times are specified in the course descriptions and printed on email confirmations.

For Spring 2015, the Leisure Classes office is closed January 19 (Martin Luther King Day), February 17 (Mardi Gras Day) and April 3 (Good Friday). No on-campus Leisure classes are scheduled on these days. Specifics about scheduling are included with each course description.

Leisure Classes welcome people from all communities and of any race, color, sexual orientation, religion, and national or ethnic orientation. Classes are open to people of 18 years old and older, unless otherwise indicated in the course description.

Registration for Spring 2015 opens December 5 and stays open until the first day of the class as long as space remains available. If the minimum enrollment has not been reached 3 days before the start of class, the class will be cancelled. Many classes fill quickly, so we encourage you to register early.

Full tuition must accompany your registration. Payment may be made by check, money order, cash, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, or Discover card. Credit card payment may be made through our secure registration website. We are no longer able to take credit card numbers by phone.

Discounted rates are available to paid Leisure Class Members, LSU students and their parents, and LSU faculty and staff. Parents of LSU students must call to request discounts. Please have name of student and LSU ID number available when calling.

Our office will send a class confirmation email to students 3-5 days before the start of class. If the minimum enrollment has not been met, the class will be cancelled and students will be notified. For this reason, we recommend that you wait until you receive the class confirmation to purchase supplies or to pick up your parking permit.

If the course you select is full, you may opt to be added to a waiting list. In the event of cancellations, increased class maximums or the opening of an additional section, we will first offer the space(s) to students on the waiting list in the order in which they were added. Please note that instructors are not authorized to make exceptions and available spaces will only be filled with students on the waiting list.

A decision to hold a class, based on the minimum enrollment for that class, will be made 3-5 days before the start of the class. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, we will notify you by email and issue you a full refund of the class fee.

A refund of the class fee minus a 10% administrative fee will be issued when a written request is received in our office before 12:00 noon 7 days prior to the class start date. After this time, no refunds will be made.

LSU Leisure Classes is committed to making its classes accessible whenever possible. For questions about accessibility please call or email our office. If we are not able to accommodate your accessibility needs, we will refund your payment.
